Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is stable and scalable."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"First of all, it does the job. It prevents harm to the operating system. Also, the visibility it gives to the user and to the administrator is very good."
"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."
"Symantec Endpoint Security is easy to use, fast, and good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"This product is valuable for ransomware protection, general malware protection, and network exploitation protection."
"The mobile application is valuable. You are able to see the reports of intrusions and the like on mobile devices. That is one of the coolest aspects."
"The most useful features are the antivirus, anti-spyware, and the firewall feature. It also provides application control and Host Integrity, which is a very unique feature."
"Helps to protect our organization from known attacks."
"This solution helps in that I can control quite a few computers from our central location, with ease."
"Can detect and prevent attacks that are exploring common software vulnerabilities."
"It just works. We have a console, and I can see it at a glance. I don't have any problems with it at all."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers. Currently it's only protecting the client side, not the server. If they would add the server in the same solution, that would be great."
"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."
"The management of the server is a bit complex."
"It can maybe send notifications when there is an update and everything is successful."
"Sometimes tech support is a bit slow to find a solution."
"They should work on making the virus definition file lighter."
"The reporting could be improved."
"The biggest thing I would like to see is malware remediation, if there is some kind of outbreak. We'd like to see better remediation and better detection and response. It's pretty good at capturing things, but it doesn't stop everything, so better machine learning would be helpful."
"They are lacking the visibility that you get in a heuristical, next-generation AI product."
"There is a lack of reporting and alerts."
